The UptimeRobot alternative with built-in status pages
UptimeRobot tells you when things break. SentraWatch tells your users — automatically — with public status pages, incident updates, and custom domains included.
What UptimeRobot does well
UptimeRobot is a great endpoint pinger. Generous free tier, simple setup, and reliable checks.
Where it falls short
But when something actually goes down, UptimeRobot leaves you scrambling to update Twitter, email customers, and post to a separate status page tool. There's no built-in way to tell your users what's happening.
